The first step is to actually create the project. To do this, click + on the File menu, mouseover 'New' and select 'Other...'.
When the Window appears, open up the PHP section and select PHP + Project.
When the New PHP Project window appears, select a name for your + project. If your workspace is not inside your webroot, it is recommended + to create your project in a directory that is. To do this, uncheck 'Use + default location' and enter an alternative path instead. When you have + entered a project name and a path, click the 'Finish' button to + continue.
Eclipse will then create an empty PHP project for you. Your + workspace should now have a PHP project, similar to the figure + below.
The PHP Project has now been created and you can now start
+ adding files and source code to your project. Note the blue PHP icon in
+ the top right corner - this indicates that you are now in the PHP
+ Perspective. An Eclipse perspective is a customized environment that is
+ geared towards a certain task. There are certain things that are helpful
+ to have visible while coding in PHP, for example, and other things that
+ might be useful to have visible when coding Java, and still others that
+ are useful during debugging. The PHP Perspective is the perspective that
+ is used for writing PHP code.
